I wonder if they would take a check??? Good luck selling a vacuum, gold plated or not, for more than 3k. Justin

Very nice collection. Welcome to the forum. Justin

Thanks Rainbowjoel. Justin

I love the Legend II, it was the most beautiful of it's generation. That maroon color was the best color Kirby every used, and I wish they would use it again. I have one, but lack the attachments. I hope to add a set of attachments soon. Alexhoovers94- you have a great machine there, use it in...

My thoughts on Kirby... Does Kirby still make that Hose End with the sliding speed selector? I have one on my GSix and I think it makes the Zip Brush easier to use and clean better. I'd like to put one on my mom's G3, and should I ever get a Sentria I'd put one on it as well. As for the Speed...

Kirbys are certainly Too heavy, too large and can be hard to use if you are not VERY familiar with them. Kirby needs to make the machine small, lighter and easier to use with out giving up what they are good at... Powerful, multiple uses and HEPA filtering DISPOSABLE bag system. If they did...

On Board Tools

On the back of the 'arm' the holds the bag top is a relise botton. Does that help? Justin

I love them both. I wish I could find those kinds of nice machines at estate sales. Justin

I have to agree with Kirbyloverdan. If Kirby had adopted a bagless design it would have been the end of them. Most bagless vacuums don't last like Kirbys do, don't have as much power as Kirbys do, and don't filter as well as Kirbys do. Sure, they would have been the first, but when they...

Ryan, I also love that Kerstar. It's a very neat looking machine. I reminds me of the Nilfisk, only bigger and more sturdy. I like that Hoover, too. It's not a great looker, but I bet it is a tank. Far more sturdy than most of the commercial vacuums on the market. Justin

Very nice Vacuum Room. Color me jealous. Justin

From time to time I make digs at plastic vacuums, but those digs are that the cheep 'big box store' vacuums. The Electrolux and Aerus vacuums that are made of plastic are not in the same category as the 'big box' stuff. Plastic Bodied Luxes are very good vacuums, last many years and do a very...

Welcome Dave, I know you will have fun here, as well as learning from the experts. I had roughly ten years in the vacuum business and a lifetime of interest... and I learn new things all the time. This is a great place to learn, explore and exchange ideas and interests. Again, Welcome. Justin

I just use a Crevice Tool and vacuum the bag's surface throughly. If it's still dirty I will wash the bag in cold, soapy water and let it air dry over night. I have never had any problems doing my cleaning like that. Let us know how you choose to clean your bag and how it works. Thanks, Justin

Good Grief, what's next? Cardboard Cars? Is this a real product, or just some design school student's project? I can't see a vacuum company making a cardboard vacuum, they won't last a year. Justin

I have a somewhat newer SCPD7 with a two pin pig-tail for the hose/power nozzle. It's a very powerful machine, a great deep cleaner and grooms the carpet very nicely. You can use the Kenmore 50557 HEPA bags if you need better filtration. Don't use the thick cottony filter that is often found...

Having worked for an Oreck dealer I would vote for the Pilot. It is pretty much the same as the XL21 which I love. It's a good cleaning machine, grooms the carpet nicely and has a very good filtering bag. Justin

There are several vacuums that I would love to have, if money were no object. The Kirby Sentria(I'd wait for the next model, but I must say that I don't like the pictures of the so called Avalir. It looks hard to use and of lower quality). The Filter Queen, I sold those for a week and love them...

I won't use a cord that is damaged. I don't even like to use them if the plug end has been replaced with one of those cheep replacements. I try to get a new or newer cord that matches the old one or at least is fairly close. If I can't find one that's close then I put on what I CAN get and use...
